About Kuma Property
The 100% owned Kuma Property spans 45 km² and hosts a drill-ready porphyry target with the potential for a large-scale system, comparable to the Panguna Mine (19.3 Moz Au & 5.3 Mt Cu)1. Surface exploration has identified a kilometer-scale lithocap, while grab samples have returned high-grade values of up to 11.7% Cu and 13.5 g/t Au, confirming strong mineralization.

Sankamap Advances Kuma Drill Program with Second Target Underway
The first drill hole at the 4,500-hectare Kuma Property in the Solomon Islands, KU26-001, has been completed with assays pending, intersecting intense clay alteration, abundant anhydrite veining and pervasive pyrite beneath the roughly 2 km lithocap. Drilling has begun on KU26-002, testing a coincident magnetic and conductivity anomaly on the lithocap's northern margin. The fully funded 2026 progr
Drill resultsSankamap Resumes Drilling at Kuma; First Assays Pending
Drilling has resumed at the 4,500-hectare Kuma Property in the Solomon Islands, with hole KU26-001 advanced to 840 metres and intersecting zones of alteration and sulphide mineralization between 250 m and 840 m. Assays for the first 559 m (365 samples) have been submitted and are pending, along with results from surface sampling completed during the drilling pause. The fully funded 2,000 to 3,000-
Drill resultsEncouraging Early Signs of Large Gold-Copper System Identified at Kuma
Drilling at the Kuma Property in the Solomon Islands has intersected an intensely clay-altered zone with abundant anhydrite veining and pyrite from 250.0 m to 280.5 m depth, with hole KU26-01 ongoing. Grab samples near the initial collar returned up to 3.0 g/t Au, and nearby stream water samples showed copper of 0.221 mg/L, about 10 times pristine background levels. The fully funded initial campai
Drill resultsSankamap Metals Launches Inaugural Drill Program at Kuma
An inaugural drill program of approximately 2,000 to 3,000 meters has begun at the Kuma Property in the Solomon Islands, targeting several priority zones identified by geological mapping, geophysics and surface sampling, including an untested leached lithocap with advanced argillic alteration. The program is fully funded, with drilling expected to continue through Q2 and early Q3 and assays releas
Drill resultsSankamap Advances Toward Inaugural Drilling at Kuma Property in the Solomon Islands
Drill pad construction has been completed and a field crew mobilized for camp construction and rock sampling at the 4,500-hectare Kuma property, about 37 km southeast of Honiara in south-central Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, with a drill rig dispatched and drilling on track to begin in February 2026. An initial 44 surface rock samples were shipped to ALS Global in Brisbane, Australia for geochemic
Drill resultsSankamap Metals Highlights Historical Exploration Work at the Kuma Property
Historical exploration results were compiled for the 4,500-hectare Kuma property, part of the Oceania Project in Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, 37 km southeast of Honiara. Rock chip sampling returned up to 13.5 g/t gold and 11.7% copper, with kilometre-scale Cu-Au soil and rock anomalies and a lithocap extending over 2 kilometres showing phyllic, argillic and advanced argillic alteration; the targe
